Festival De Calacas

Hello my Sacred Friends! It's been a long time since I posted. October is always an insane month for me. So many events and commitments, and not enough time! I will be posting pictures soon. I was blessed to teach 68 girl scouts how to decorate sugar skulls, show my Chicas Latinas group how to make paper marigolds, as well as build a Altar Installation for the Mexican Heritage Plaza in San Jose. (my home town) The opening reception is tomorrow night, and if you are in the area, please stop by and say hello. Of course I will be taking more pictures. I am showing for the first time in my former home town, and it feels great!

Salute, my friends! Below is a calendar of events in the San Jose area.
